Toronto's murder rate dips to a 12-year low: By the numbers

Though Toronto had more murders than any other city in Canada this year, 2011 saw the city’s homicide rate fall sharply. (That is assuming, of course, that the number does not rise sharply between now and midnight on New Year’s Eve.) In addition, the rate of solved homicides has also improved. The National Post’s Ian Vandaelle breaks down Toronto’s year in murder, by the numbers, as of 6 p.m. December 30.
